May Exports By Rail Show Decline

A big drop of 663 carloads ex- ported from here in May compar- ed to the figures for the same month of last year featured the monthly tonnage report prepared by the office of the Superintendent at the C.N.R. Last month the Is- land shipped only 1,071 oars. while in the corresponding month of last year there were 1.734.

At the same time imports via the Cape Tormentine-Borden car ferry route rose from 1.545 last year to -1.859 this May, an in- crease of 314 carloads.

The decrease in export freight was due almost entirely to lower shipments of roughwood. In May of 1951 there were 654 cars ship- ped via. rail while this May there were only 68. Other commodities moving from here with the figures for May of last year as well were: empty barrels 0 and 4; empty cone :1 and 0; eggs 11 and 8; fish 2 and I3: livestock 117 and 112: less car- loads 77 and '19; meals 26 and 24; potatoes 653 and 718; turnips 32 and 31: miscellaneous 20 and 28; railway materials 11 and 5: lum- ber 4 and 18; scrap iron 4 and 14; fertilizer 24 and 0. f

Among the imports the greatest increases were in fertilizer and lime. The former showed 335 car- loads this year compared to 231 last year, while lime shipments were up to 309 from 162.

other items with figures for last year following were: autos 66

and 68; coal ill and 109; flour and feed 84 and 121; gas and oils 211 and 199; lum-

ber 29 and 55; less carloads 279 and 251; machinery 42 and I9; sugar 17 and 15: salt 17 and la; aerated waters I5 and 9; miscel- laneous '15 and 113; railway mate- rial 12 and 24; roofing 8 and 20; sandstone and gravel 28 and 39; canned goods 17 and I4: brick and cement 37 and 33; building mate- rials 34 and 0: asphalt 15 and 0.

Among the exports 718 carloads originated at points between Char- n, Summersidu and Bor- den while 1,41'i cars were destin- cd to that same area. Another 18:! carloads began at points east and south of Charlottetown with 286 cars moving into that territory. The balance of 170 cars were ship- ped from points west of sum- merslde with 156 of the imported carloads going to that section of the Province.

Wagtsbemands By Rail Workers Tolle Forinulated

OTTAWA. June is - (OP) - Uiiion leaders representing about 125,000 rail workers meet this weak to set wage demands for presenta- tion to the railways.

The unions' proposals will be given the railways about July 2. touching off Canada's biggest set of labor-management negotiations since the wage-hour dispute that culminated in the general rail strike of 1950.

In the union talks opening Thurs- day at Montreal. a dozen interna- tionsi brotaherhoods and two ail- Canaclian unions will discuss de- mands covering the raiiwaysi non- operating employees, those who do not actually work on the grains.

The operating employees of the "running trades" are negotiating individually with the railways - their contracts have different ex- piry dates - and settlements have been worked out in some cases.

Since the 1050" agreements went into effect. union ' s' contend. the cost-of-living index had so- vancedto an extent equal to about another 20 cents an hour. even al- lowing for recent drops in me in- dex.

The initial wage. demand is cer- tain to be at least that amount. and some estimates are that it will run as high as 35 cents an hour.

PEI Marketing Board Elections On June 27

The P.E.l. Potato Marketing Board will hold elections Friday. June 2'1 to fill vacancies caused by expiring terms of two of its members. They are Mr. Donald A. MacDonald. chairman and man- ager of the Board, who is pro- ducer representative for Queens County; and Mr. Fred. Bell, man- ager of the Potato Growers As- sociation, representing the regis- tered dealers. New members elect- ed will serve for three-year terms.

The Potato Marketing Board, whose activities and authority are under review by the, Supreme Court of Canada at present. was first set up in September 1950. During its first year it was un- dcr the managership of Mr. E. D. Reid who resigned to entcr private business. At the time the full du- ties and manager were taken over by the chairman. Mr. D. A. Mac- Donald, and Mr. S. G. Peppin was added to the staff of the Board as technical adviser.

Since the Board was organized it has attempted, apparently with some success, to advance the Is- land potato industry. During the difficult marketing conditions pre- vailing in the 1950-1951 season the Board brought some measure of stability to the market by estab- lishing minimum prices. Later in the season it administered a mar- keting assistance plan undgr the Agricultural Products Marketing Act which removed a considerable quantity of Island potatoes from the domestic market for process- ing purposes.

Durlng the past season market

conditions have been the best ever

known and it was not necessary, because of shortage of supplies. to exercise very much marketing control.

However the Potato Board car- ried on an active policy of ad- vertising and also instituted for the first time the Florida testing for the benefit of Island seed potato growers.
